Steps:
- Grease the bottom and sides of the Crock Pot with olive oil.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spread bread cubes onto two rimmed cooking sheets and bake, stirring once, until crisp, about 10 minutes. You can also dry the bread cubes out without using the oven. Just cut the bread into chunks and let it sit at room temperature for 24-48 hours, until hard. Add the bread cubes to the slow cooker.
- Set a large saute pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add the olive oil, then the onion and celery. Saute until tender and lightly browned, about 7 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Remove from heat and add the broth, stirring to scrap up any remaining brown bits of onion.
- Let the broth mixture cool to room temperature. Add the parsley, sage, rosemary, thyme, salt, pepper, and egg. Beat with a whisk until blended.
- Pour the broth and veggie mixture over the bread crumbs. Use a wooden spoon or spatula to gently stir until evenly distributed. Add additional broth, 1/4 cup at a time, until the bread is almost entirely soaked and is no longer crunchy, but not so much that there is broth pooled at the bottom of the slow cooker. The bottom of the slow cooker should still be relatively dry.
- Cook on low for 4-6 hours, until the edges are golden brown.
- Top with fresh herbs before serving, if desired.

THE BEST SOURDOUGH STUFFING
This is the best Thanksgiving stuffing I've ever made or eaten. The cubed sourdough bread and bountiful herbs impart such delicious flavors that you'll want to make it year-round. Used bread from your freezer stash or bake one or two quick No Knead Sourdough Breads a few days or weeks ahead.

Steps:
- Chop the onions, celery, mushrooms, garlic, optional walnuts or chestnuts, and herbs.
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, mushrooms, and garlic. Saute and add salt and pepper to taste (the amount you use will depend on your preference and your stock e.g. homemade unsalted or not).
- When the vegetables have softened, add the herbs and optional nuts, and saute for another minute or so, then add 1 cup of the stock.
- In a medium bowl (with a pour spout if possible), beat the eggs, then add the remaining 2 cups of stock.
- Place your cubed sourdough bread in a large mixing bowl. (You could put the bread directly in the baking pan, but stirring may be difficult.)
- Pour the saute mixture over the cubed bread and mix. Then pour on the stock-egg mixture and fold everything until it's thoroughly combined.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and lightly oil or butter a 9x13 baking dish.
- Transfer the mixture to your baking dish and spread evenly, cover and let sit for about 20 minutes for the bread to absorb the liquids.
- After the rest, if the top bread cubes seem dry and there is no loose liquid underneath, sprinkle on 1-2 cups of water, stir everything again inside the pan, and then put the pan in the oven.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, until the internal temperature is at least 160°F. Cover with foil if the stuffing begins to brown too much.
- After removing from the oven, sprinkle with additional fresh herbs if you want.

Tips:
- Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs like rosemary, thyme, and sage add a burst of flavor to the stuffing. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use half the amount since they are more concentrated.
- Don't overstuff the slow cooker: Leave some room at the top of the slow cooker so that the stuffing can expand as it cooks.
- Cook the stuffing on low: Cooking the stuffing on low for 6-8 hours allows the flavors to meld and develop. If you cook it on high, the stuffing may dry out.
- Check the stuffing for doneness: The stuffing is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. You can check the temperature with a meat thermometer.
- Serve the stuffing immediately: Serve the stuffing immediately after it is done cooking. It can be served with roasted turkey, chicken, or pork.
